3D Printing Moves Further Into Normal Manufacturing- Adidas Is 3D Printing Soles of Its New Shoes

Adidas announced that it is going to use 3D printing to create 100,000 pairs of its new, innovative trainer. The 3D print allows them to create a new midsole that will have varied levels of flexibility and support from spot to spot. Traditional foam midsoles could only provide a single level of each.

The key is using DLS 3D printers which cure resins with light, similar to the 3D printer we will be building here at our MakerLab.
